[TD1]

You realise the literal death of the entire fortress is on your shoulders, don't you Lemonpie?

Your death was the catalyst for doom.

[Lord_lemonpie]

"See death not as doom, but as an escape from living in this rotten hell of a world. Let darkness become light, let hunger become sustenance, and let loss become gain. Fear not death, for it leads to glory. Fear the inevitable reincarnation of your eternal soul, for being torn from the bliss of heaven is truly the gravest injustice of all."
As Lemonpie would have said it in the masses he orchestrated in dire times.

Thanks for playing, Dwarfy. Loved the turn! You brought the fortress a worthy ending.

May I fifth the Panda?

[TheFlame52]

beautiful, gave me a chill

[apiks]

Ding ding ding, the Panda has entered the hall of Necrothreat fame successfully. It will forever be memorized in the same way as the head from the original necrothreat was.

Budiloltud - Second Coming of Ur - A panda, kept in the confines of a cage for nearly a decade, originally by our first queen. It turned out to be the supreme villain of Necrothreat IV, bringing the fort to its inevitable annihilation from within as it somehow learned the secrets of death and raised the dead the moment the king died and we became embroiled in civil war. Records say that the panda was one of the more popular attractions in the fortress throughout its existence. Nobody saw it coming... - Unknown - Necrothreat IV

*Salutes the Panda of Death*

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Rust blossoms on the blade and falls out of the sky.
Ash clogs the river and burned the grasses wave
As if in spectral breeze from times now dead.
No Forumite remains, no soul alive to save.

The dead hold this place, and to the dead alone
The dues of death were paid.
Highmax slumbers shambolic in his pride
Far from the place his corpse was laid.

Lord Lemonpie, who saved our souls
At his own expense and cost
Is likewise laid in tomb and hold
To rot with all the other lost.

And what is there to show, for we few fools
Who journeyed full of hope and love of history?
The bastion of our people, saving grace of civilization!
Gods damn us – in shame we left a place of impropriety.

Our women wailed and pulled their hair to see
Sons fighting sons and husbands gored by crows –
Who killed us were the dead, who held the blade?
Only we few fools who laughed and struck the blows.

For Lemonpie preached for fluidity of the wave
And Dwarfy for restoration.
Apiks called from on high for our victory
And Highmax claimed his vengeance.
Quill wrote, and what that wit could not invent
Did not exist.

A Flame smote in the darkness,
Life was forged anew -

………..

For Lemonpie was twisted and deformed, his form was fluid
And Dwarfy held a devil from the past inside.
Apiks’ victory was born on wings of blood and death
And Highmax in a young child’s body cried.
Quill’s pen ran out of ink, and that which is dead…
It can-not think.

The Flame that lit the darkness, banished gloom
Flamed briefly ‘ere it left us to our doom.

So look upon the ruin of hope, upon the springs full choked
The ash-strewn gardens of the Forumites
Where death was crop and life was naught.
Beasts claim it for their own, and death stalks halls.
Yet what scares more than Necrothreaders,
More than death, decay and rot?

We can-not tell the difference.

Of course it has lol in its name. Why wouldn't it.

[TD1]

Bud, I lol

[pikachu17]

Too bad its name doesn't end with a thud, because the fortress did.

[TD1]

I'll not pretend to be much of an artist, but I figured I'd draw a 'Highmax Before His Fall' picture.

Huh, whatever angle my phone took the pic at makes the head look wider than it is on-page. Strange.

[apiks]

Poems and now drawings, eh? Going above and beyond on the creative path.

[TheFlame52]

Nice.

[highmax28]

That looks magnificent!

Hey, you haven't even seen my conlang attempts

Also, thanks Highmax!
